Red roadside wild flower
If I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter
Oh at least a time or two
Maybe she'd have thought it through
Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
Oh how she'd love to sit and watch you
I could have done that a whole lot more
If I had been so stubborn been so selfish
Thought about her more
Thought about me less joke to make her laugh
Held her when she cried a little more of that
Or maybe I wouldn't be driving like hell
Flying like crazy down the highway calling
Everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go
Beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face
If I'd have loved her this much all along
Maybe maybe yeah maybe she wouldn't be gone
She wouldn't be gone
She warned me it was coming
Said if I didn't change she was leaving
I just didn't believe
That she would ever really walk out
God I believe her now called her mama
Cried like a baby to her best friend
If they've seen her they ain't saying
They ain't saying
Now I'm cursing like a fool praying it ain't too late
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes
Find her beg her for one more try until then
Damn it I'll be drivin' like hell
Flyin' like crazy down the highway callin'
Everyone we know
Stoppin' any place she might be
Goin' any place she might go
Beatin' on the dash
Screamin' out her name at the windshield
Tears soakin' up the windshield
If I'd have loved her this much all along
Maybe maybe yeah maybe she wouldn't be gone
I wouldn't be beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along
Maybe maybe yeah maybe she wouldn't be gone
Red roadside wild flower
If I had only picked you
Took you home
Set you on the counter
Oh at least a time or two
Baby she'd have thought it through
